Strong's Lexicon qeseth: Ink, inkstand Original Word: קֶסֶת Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to cut off Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "qeseth," the concept of writing and ink can be related to Greek terms such as "γράμμα" (gramma, G1121) meaning "letter" or "writing," and "μελάνιον" (melanion, G3185) meaning "ink." Usage: The term "qeseth" refers to an ink or inkstand, a container used for holding ink. In the context of the Bible, it is associated with writing and recording, often used by scribes or those tasked with documenting important information. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient times, writing was a crucial part of record-keeping, communication, and the transmission of religious texts. Inkstands were essential tools for scribes, who played a vital role in preserving and copying sacred scriptures. The use of ink and inkstands reflects the importance of written communication in maintaining the cultural and religious heritage of the Israelites.
